Wednesday, April 13, 2016. Hello again.
Since it looks like we'll be using Serenity more often than we thought we might be initially or at least that's the plan we're looking at ways to make her more versatile. And these are really only plans as they require money and taking on debt is not a part of our plans. We've more than enough debt to take care let alone adding more to it.
With having said that, we know that anything is also possible so here is what we're thinking about base on some quick research on the Canadian Tire website and no particular order:
Coleman 8.5 Amp, 12 Volt Solar Charge Controller, Regular$24.99
Coleman 75W Crystalline Solar Panel, Regular$399.99
NOMA 75 Watt Crystalline Solar Panel, SAVE 40%, Total $199.99 instead of $349.99
Champion 2000W Inverter Generator, Regular$799.99
We are looking at two different solar panels that appear on the surface to offer the same volts, watts, etc. charging capacity with the Noma being on sale for less than $200.00. The Noma is also smaller than the Coleman. The charge controller is needed to control the charge going to the battery. Although, we are reluctant to get a generator it'd be a nice addition to have in the van so we never have to worry about our electrical needs especially on the AC side of the equation. Operating the air conditioner would be a great bonus when we stay in a remote area or at a campground without hookups.
Just a few ideas we are working on as the camping season is just around the corner.
Thanks again for stopping by.
Happy Camping Folks!
